The man behind 1999’s seminal album Play is promoting a new album called “Wait for Me. Remixes.” The album features reworked Moby tracks by some of dance music’s biggest names, includingTiesto, LaidbackLuke, and Carl Cox.

The new tracks are so dangerously hypnoticthat The Weekender was compelled to ask the Grammy Award-winner if he'd ever considered using his skills for evil.

For those who prefer fuzzy guitars to synthesizers, Brooklyn-based indie rockers The Hold Steady perform at the Green Space (44 Charlton Street) Friday night, for a live broadcast of the WNYC radio show Soundcheck.

If you're looking for something more refined, hit Ruben Museum of Art (150 W. 17th St.) for a Friday night screening of “Der Muede Tod,” Fritz Lang’s 1921 silent movie. Thomas Rutishauser will perform live cello accompaniment in a nod to the way the film was originally experienced.

But this is all just a series of undercards to the main event on Saturday night, when British-born Amir Khan defends his WBA World Light Welterweight boxing title against Brooklyn's own Paulie Malignaggi at The Theater at Madison Square Garden (7th Ave. between 31st and 33rd sts.).

At a press conference on Wednesday for what would be Khan’s American debut, Malignaggi goaded his opponent:

“His manager was saying he wanted the biggest fight in America, he wanted Paulie Malignaggi,” the Bensonhurst native said. “You know what they say, bro, be careful what you wish for.”

Khan’s retort: “Paulie keeps talking too much, you know. But I’m happy to fight someone like that, just to shut him up.”

Tickets for the bout start at $65, or, you can watch the drama unfold on HBO.

The midnight show features a panel of comedians interacting live with denizens of the Internet's newest and creepiest social networkingChatroulette. The site allows users to anonymously video chat with strangers, and has aptly been called an "online 'Lord of the Flies.'"

To get an an idea of Bear In Heaven's artistry, check out this ingenious DIY video. While stuck in the Madrid airport during April's Icelandic ash-out, a Bear In Heaven member placed his video camera on a moving baggage carousel, and set the results to "Dust Cloud," a song from their latest album, Beast Rest ForthMouth.
